Theres only one talent that gives the assassin a bonus if he wears medium armor, using 2 points in this talent will give the assassin 10 crit chance if he has all 5 pieces of gear equipped.

This is a tiny bonus, and is hardly noticeable as time goes on.

On the other hand an assassin can use heavy armor, receive better defensive bonuses and have 2 talent points spare to use more effectively.

 

Now unless I'm missing something that may have been added defensive wise (for example medium armor is better for taking magic damage and heavy is better for taking melee damage) there is no good reason for an assassin to use medium armor.

 

My suggestion would be to boost this talent so it's more of a "mandatory choice" in any good assassin build or make some changes to all the armor attributes, making damage types more diverse across different types of armor. 

 

The boost to the talent could be something like "2% on 1 point used + a 5% chance to receive 100% accuracy on your next attack and 4% on 2 points used + a 10% chance to receive 100% accuracy on your next attack" per medium armor piece.

Doesn't change much, but the ranger talent 'Dexterous' is also available to Assassins.  It now also improves melee haste.

 

While haste is necessary for a ranger, it's still difficult to justify medium armor on an assassin.

I agree completely. I think it is ridiculous having assassins in heavy armor. They should be more inclined to wear medium.

I suggested a while back adding dodge enhancements in for wearing medium armor along with the crit chance.
